Cosponsored with the Family Law Section of the Virginia State Bar
For nearly four decades, this annual event has offered family law attorneys from across Virginia an indispensable educational opportunity. As usual, the seminar offers six hours of CLE credit for attorneys, ranging from annual legislative and case law updates to specific programs on the most pressing family law matters.
While COVID-19 concerns are preventing this program from occurring at locations across Virginia this year, the planning committee has worked hard to offer you the same high-quality instructional content through a remotely delivered option still providing live-interactive credit.
This year’s topics include:
- Bi-annual Case Law and Legislative Updates
- A review of drafting divorce actions, utilizing forms, and how and when to properly draft your Final Divorce Orders
- A discussion of informal information-gathering and available formal discovery tools, including e-discovery and spoliation issues
- An overview of recent ethics rule changes and what they mean for your family law practice, including recent changes to the trust accounting procedures
- A session on domestic violence and protective orders
BONUS: All attendees will receive access to a complete set of downloadable e-book seminar materials that includes the brand new, 2020 edition of Virginia Family Law: A Systemic Approach publication—a $249 value! This is the definitive “how-to” book on the practice of family law in Virginia. The chapters address every aspect of the representation from the initial interview of the client through the final orders and decrees. The book includes over 200 forms for pleadings, orders, and correspondence covering all aspects of the litigation. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or are new to family law practice, this book is a critical resource you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.

MCLE Credit Caveat: The MCLE Board measures credits by the time you spend in attendance. If you enter a seminar late or leave it early, or both, you must reflect those adjustments accurately in the credits you report on your credit reporting form. A code will be given at the end of the seminar, which must be written on your MCLE form.
